Hammer's transom Rebuild

Well, I did some more work on the V today. A bit more sanding and grinding. I layed in some more cloth up over teh width of teh transom, but had problems for the first time. The cloth was well wetted out, but it just wouldnt hold the form wrapping overtop of the transom. I finally cut some scrap pieces and that seemed to work. Looks like crap. Now have more sanding to do.
Also started pulling screws out and addind in some west system filler.
After that, the bugs started eating me alive.  :-/

baby steps!! Looks good from my house, besides a little sanding never hurt anyone.
 
I've always heard it was near impossible to square off corners with glass mat. I guess you proved that :-/

Hold the phone and wait for some Skools Dual advice 8)
 
4" grinder will fix the problem along with some bondo I hope. Thought about using a thinner/lighter cloth, but didnt want to loose any strenght. Hope to have her cleaned up a bit more this week.

My buddy just pulled a motor today. Guy blew it up and went with a new E-Tec. The boat has 60 gallons of 50/1 fuel that needs pumped out. It's for free, so I might be pumping out fuel for teh next day or so. ;D
 
just needed a old coffee can to roll on it to get smooth and don't add to much cloth to thick or you will make the transom to heavy.

Hey HAMMER, I made a fuel pump out of a WEST bilge pump,
It works awesome and pumps 5 gallons of gas in less than a minute.
I'll be down Thursday night if you want to stop over and take a look.
 
Yo Parishht, do you actually remember how to get to Lewes ???, seems like your not around much in slower lower Delaware redneckville. ;D
I'm off Thursday, lets hook up. ;D
 
I'll sign off on it - looks darn good for a rookie glass guy! ;) I hope you get alot of money outta it. You should do pretty good.
